A Light Installation - ‘Photosynthesis’.       

       The installation asks what it means for something artificial to live, and for something living to depend on human touch. It is the ghost of a flower, and it becomes ‘alive’ only when it is nourished with light and water, like any other flower. 

       It hovers gently in space. As it turns, the sculpture catches and refracts light like a living organism reaching toward the sun. Its needs mirror the dependencies shared by the living, the non-living and the soomething in between.

  Process and Exhibition       


          This installation was part of the exhibition “Through The Lens Of” - a collective exploration of the intersection between science and art, with a central focus on light as both subject and medium. The focus was about how scientific principles can become sources of aesthetic wonder when reimagined through an artistic lens.

          The process of creating this work began with extensive research into the behavior of light - its refraction, reflection, and dispersion through different materials. I explored how light interacts with water, transparent film, and other reflective surfaces, studying how even small changes in angle, texture, or movement could alter perception. These experiments became the foundation of the work’s form and meaning.
